Powersync Knackered ?

[Fano]

I think my Powersync is faulty after having it for 12 months .
I've used it to do a good few cards mostly Rom 11 BOD and a few Rom 10A88.
It always worked perfectly until lately.
I adjusted the Pot to around 60 Ohms so as to give me a VCC setting of 1A ,optimum for A88's.
I used Sidewinder sometimes but mostly Winex.
Never had a problem till now.
I tried to glitch a Rom 11 last week but the script stopped after about 1 minute ,no error message just +++ .
I took the card out and it is knackered.
I tried another Rom 11 card today and the same thing happened.
I tried a Rom 10 using Sidewinder and that kept on going for hours ,normally it unlocks after a few hours so I stopped the script.
My setup seems ok,it has served me well until now.
I reflashed the Powersync with Newd11x ,it flashed fine (I switched switch 1 off to flash ;All switches off).
I ran VCC analyser ,it runs fine ,still seeing -------- at 1A.
Everything looks ok but I noticed that the status light seems to be dead.
Is the Powersync faulty ,do they fail over time ,burn out perhaps ?
Any ideas are appreciated.

Hi Rizlaman,
It could very well be the PC causing it to crash.
The powersync seems ok,the status light looks ok after all.
That PC froze up on me about a month ago ,I had to change the power connector on the hard drive as the one powering it died.
I'll try the Powersync on my other pc,see if that works.Fingers crossed.
Edit
Tried on second PC and working fine.
At least the Powersync is fine,odd that it doesnt work on the other pc,I've been using that for a year.
I put a new USB PCI card in lately ,perhaps that is the catalyst.
